Next Steps

Next Steps aims to put people back in charge of their lives and to give them the resources they need to break free from poverty. It does this by working with individuals on a one-to-one basis to support and encourage them, enabling them to return to training or employment. Specific support includes helping you write your CV, complete an application form and prepare for an interview. We may even be able to put you directly in touch with a company that is looking for people like you.
